cytoskeleton refers to the intracellular network of protein filaments. They are involved in adopting a variety of shapes and to carry out directed movements within the cell. There are three types of protein filaments: microfilaments (subunit- actin like protein, are capable of contraction), microtubules (subunit- alpha and beta tubulin, they do not contract but they can assemble and disassemble; play important role in the movement of the chromosomes) and intermediate filaments (forms a basket around the nucleus and are present in cell-cell junctions)."

Cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is responsible for cell shape, motility (movement) of the cell as a whole, and motility of organelles within a cell. There are three types of filaments in the cytoplasm of most vertebrate cells: microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments.
